Log Details
Clicking any log entry opens a detailed view in JSON format. This is useful for support or advanced debugging.
Some example fields include:
- source_entity: User or system entity that performed the action
- log_entry_id: Unique identifier for the event
- type: Event type such as users.actions.login
- timestamp_ms / written_timestamp: Millisecond-precision timestamps

This detailed view helps correlate backend IDs with user-friendly names, folders, and event metadata.
